Breaking news: Berto-Ortiz on April 16?
Not a bad fight strange GBP let Ortiz in with Berto I think Berto takes him out, I would of thought it would of been better if Ortiz fought Khan after this date.

Breaking news: Berto-Ortiz on April 16?
Not a bad fight strange GBP let Ortiz in with Berto I think Berto takes him out, I would of thought it would of been better if Ortiz fought Khan after this date.
Maybe Ortiz can't make 140 anymore.
People will laugh, but I think Ortiz might be the biggest threat to Khan at 140. He can box, put punches together, and has legitimate power. I might actually pick him to stop Khan.
Berto will just be too big for him though.
I don't rate Ortiz personally, looks like an accident waiting to happen for me.Quote:

I think it will be a good fight. Ortiz is a big 140 lber, and i'm not sold on Berto yet. Isn't April 16 the possible date for JMM-Morales fight? same card?
They are both well beyond 140. Look at Ortizs lats and wing span right now...he has 154 written all over it. Bertos stocky as all hell and negates his speed more and more.........this is a healthy needed match of two guys with frankly limitations as far as the elites go. Bit of a chance to throw them in the fire and cancel one out. Both young and still green after all this time.
It'll be a draw....ok I lean towards Ortiz ;D
What happened to Berto facing Randal Bailey ? :confused:

Berto needs to close the gap by fighting someone with more of a challenge and threat. And not to mention, star potential!!!
Ortiz is a big jr welterweight, and easily could compete at welter, if he's in the right mindset i think he can surprise quite a few people and give Berto hell, i mean he's a powerful southpaw, with an awkward style, decent speed, i'd say better power and a good variety of punches, and well to me at least Berto has had question marks all over his chin since the Cosme Rivera fight (where his corner had to cut off his glove to buy him time), should be a good fight and Ortiz is a lot more credible than Bailey or some other no name at welter
I think this would be a solid fight. Like most have stated Ortiz looks bigger at 140 than most. Berto looks to be a bit small at welterweight. This could be a great clash if it happens.
Not a bad fight at all.
Not so sure about that one El............Quote:

are you kidding me? i'm not high on Berto what so ever, but Ortiz would ruin Bailey at this stage as would Berto, Randall Bailey has always been chinny and easy to find, he's nothing more than a B level fighter with loads of power but no chin or stamina to match, if Urango knocked him the fuck out, Ortiz and Berto would wreck the guy badlyQuote:

Kidding fine sir I am not. Berto and Ortiz have done nothing to nail it on that they would wreck Bailey. Berto, aside from stopping Quintana, does nothing to impress me at all, and Ortiz, first drop from Bailey would have his heart fall out of his arse. He already straight up quit once.Quote:

I like Bailey, especially at welterweight where he's not starvin, and I like hin to quake the boots of Berto.
umm Berto dominated and man handled the last guy to knock Bailey the fuck out in Urango, what has Randall Bailey done at a world stage to prove that at 36 he'll be a threat to a top rated fight in Berto? hell who the hell has Bailey ever beaten of note period, his biggest win is a 8 round UD against a shot Demarcus Corley to whom he had already lost to, he couldn't be Ngoudjo who was like 15-1 at the time and that was his last decent showing, Ortiz packs more power than Urango IMO and Berto would be on him and overwhelm him, in short if Bailey fought either guy he'd get KTFOQuote:

the biggest names on his record all have one thing in common they're all on the L part of his record, Cotto, Corley, Smith, and Urango
Ortiz has been a welterweight fighting at jr welter the last couple times out. He'll be a solid welter, don't think size is an issue here, speed might be though.
Bailey isn't elite by any stretch and has had some poor showings, your dead right, and a couple of those fights if he was top top, then he would have done way better. No way did he get "knocked the fuck out" by Urango, he got ground down to the body and couldn't take any more, I don't see Berto having that good a body work. Bailey has good skill and moves well and with one of the best beautiful straight rights inthe business to get through a less than stellar Berto defense. Ishe smith is a good good fighter, and absolutely no shame in losing to Cotto, as most other have.Quote:

The only guy Ortiz has wrecked at a decent level is a well well over the hill Vivian Harris, no way he wrecks Bailey, can't have that. Plus he creeped to a draw (what was really a win by a couple of points) against Peterson. Berto hugged the life out of Urango and did not, IMO, dominate. I just can't accept that Berto is Elite, he got beat, IMO, by Collazo for damns sake. I really want to see Bailey fight Berto now..... If Berto was "Elite" and a wrecker, no way he would have jumped ship on the Mosley fight and absolutely no way in hell would he have fought Freddy Hernandez in his last fight.
To be honest, I don't really see what we'll learn from Berto and Ortiz fighting each other. I don't rate either of them highly.
Ortiz also dominated (although aged) Nate Campbell, and i wouldn't really rate Bailey much higher than Harris or Campbell, as for power, Ortiz sparked a usually durable Maussa in one roundQuote:

Berto didn't "jump ship" he had a valid reason for bowing out of the Mosley fight, he had just lost a number of relatives in the earthquake in Haita, hell he didn't even know if his own sister was alive, so nice try there, again i'm not even a Berto fan, i bash him when it's necessary and also don't think he's as good as some make him out to be, but he's a hell of a lot better than Randall fucking Bailey as is Victor Ortiz
I totally know about the disaster in Haiti, mistake me not. Doesn't seem to have been in a super rush to get back in there with osely though hey. Hernandez, i'll say t again..... Someone doesn't have faith in him, whether its himself or his team......Quote:

Funny thing is, we'll probably never find out about Bailey. Lets just agree to disagree. Your more than likely more knowledgeable on Berto and Ortiz than me so i'll bow to the more thorough explanation you provided. Until then, Berto vs Ortiz shows people absolutely fuck all in my humble opinion.......
If I'm not mistaken I think for Ortiz's last 3 fights he came in the ring between 154-156 lbs. That's quite a junior welter, Berto is slightly bigger but Ortiz isnt going to be dwarfed here.Quote:

Ortiz is much better match-up for Berto than Bailey. Berto won't look as good in the ring with someone that moves. Ortiz should look much better at 147. This is a good fight. I hope it happens.
thing is who has Aykin fought? no one
This could be competitive early, but I think Berto will likely stop or badly hurt Ortiz. I honestly can't rank Ortiz higher than guys like Quintana or Collazo. I think he may hit harder, but both him and berto don't seem to be able to really implement their assets really effectively. They can both be technical fighters, Berto is blistering fast, and Ortiz is pretty quick himself. They both hit really hard, yet they can't seem to really "control" a fight. I just see Berto being a better athlete and a toughter guy mentally. I mean he's been through way more than Ortiz and he's the more talented fighter. It seems like Golden Boy is throwing ORtiz to the wolves.
That literraly could be said about every single fighter ever before they stepped up. He deserves his shot and should get it, he stepped aside once already. . You say who has he fought, well other than collazo and quintana who the hell has berto fought? Sorry urango at147 doesn't count. I mean who had martinez fought up till 2 years ago???Quote:

Wins against Ouali, Bonsu and Dan are all decent wins (though the Dan fight was an out right robbery). He's done it the WBC way not the fans way. What has Ortiz done? Quit against Maidana, beat up some shot guys and a light weight, drew with Peterson and let Peterson off the hook rather than finish himQuote:

Pacquiao is getting voluntary shots due to the money he brings, Ortiz is wanting to leap frong a mandatory
if you want to break that down, we could do the same to Berto's wins, Quintana already was KO'd by Cotto and Williams, Collazo robbed, and Urango was a Jr Welterweight not a welterweight, he won the title from a joke of an opponent, so that would basically bring down Berto to Ortiz's "level", again Victor Ortiz is a bigger name than Aykin so it makes more sense financially and either way you yourself said that Aykin got a gift against Dan, Haye wasn't selling out arenas or getting PPV slots and he managed to earn a HW title after beating a bum in Barrett, so it's justified that Pacquiao gets title shots without being a mandatory due to money, yet Ortiz can't even though he'll bring more money to the table than Aykin, interesting...Quote:

Maussa had been out of the ring for a year and was on a 2 fight losing streak. Hardly fair compare like for like.
Pacquiao is getting voluntary shots due to the money he brings, Ortiz is wanting to leap frong a mandatory
I do think Berto's a very lucky guy to be a champion and should fight a prime 147 lb'er, not another small guy from 140. Aydin has won his mandatory position, Ortiz shouldn't be allowed to leap frog that. Pacquiao, to the best of my knowledge isn't leap frogging mandatories. Ortiz may bring more money than the Turk but he doesn't deserve to leap frog a mandatory, even if the judges in the Turks last fight were garbage.Quote:

If Ortiz wan't Berto either get himself into a mandatory position or offer it when a voluntary comes up.Quote:

just cause Ortiz is moving up from 140 doesn't mean he's a small guy, it's the exact opposite, the guy is massive for 140, Pacquiao isn't leap frogging mandatory opponents but he's getting title shots while not even being ranked at that weight class instead of the #1 and #2 guy getting their shot, it's the same damn thingQuote:
